Hotel luggage lockers, supplied and fitted at no cost
Most hotels buy luggage lockers, then still pay staff to run them. Lobby Locker installs connected lockers into the space you already use, guests serve themselves from their phone, and the property earns a share of every paid session.
Buying lockers vs having them funded
Bought lockers are a capital purchase with a key or code list to manage, no record of who opened what, and no income attached. Funded lockers arrive with the locks, payment, guest messaging, monitoring and maintenance already built in — and they pay the property rather than cost it.
There is no purchase price, no subscription and no contract minimum. If the storage is not used, it costs you nothing.
Locker sizes and what fits
Small doors take handbags, laptop bags and shopping. Medium doors take cabin cases and rucksacks. Large compartments and individually code-locked cages take full suitcases, sports equipment, buggies and the four-bag family arriving at 9am. We survey your arrival and departure peaks and set the mix accordingly, so nothing sits empty and nothing turns guests away.
How a guest uses them
The guest scans a code in the lobby, chooses a size and a duration, and pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. A door opens straight away, access lives on their phone, and a reminder arrives before the storage window ends. No app to download, no account, no deposit and no queue at the desk.
Security and accountability
Every compartment locks individually and every open is timestamped, so there is a complete record instead of a numbered paper tag and a hopeful memory. Our team monitors the hardware around the clock and can release any door remotely, and firmware is updated over the air for the life of the install.
Installation
A short site survey confirms space, power and the finish you want. One fitting visit follows, usually inside a day, with no building work and no lobby closure. Units run on their own 4G connection, so they keep working during a Wi-Fi outage and never touch your guest network.
Common questions
- What are hotel luggage lockers?
- Hotel luggage lockers are secure compartments where guests store bags themselves, before check-in or after check-out. With Lobby Locker each door has an electronic lock, so access is granted by a single-use code on the guest's phone rather than a key held at reception.
- How much do hotel luggage lockers cost to buy?
- Buying steel lockers outright typically runs from a few hundred pounds for a small bank to several thousand for a full luggage room, before electronic locks, payment and installation. Lobby Locker charges nothing: we fund the hardware, fitting and ongoing management, and take our return from a share of paid sessions.
- What size lockers do hotels need?
- Most properties need a mix. Small and medium doors cover handbags, laptop bags and cabin cases, while large compartments or individually code-locked cages take full suitcases, golf bags, buggies and multi-bag groups. We size the mix from your arrival and departure patterns at survey.
- Where do the lockers go?
- Usually into the space already used as a luggage room, or a recessed area off the lobby or corridor. There is no building work, and the units are finished to sit sensibly alongside your existing interiors.
- Are luggage lockers secure and insured?
- Each compartment is individually locked, every open is logged with a timestamp, and hardware is monitored 24/7 with remote opening available. Sessions carry cover for stored items, and the audit trail replaces the paper tag system entirely.
- How long does installation take?
- A short site survey, then one fitting visit — usually completed inside a day without closing the lobby. Units run on their own 4G connection, so nothing depends on your guest Wi-Fi.
